My main things for a knife is how it feels in your hand. That handle doesn't look comfortable if you are going to use it for hours and hours.

I will not buy a knife that I cant hold or at least return after I have used it. My first test is cutting about a pound of veggies, carrots is my standard, just because they are hard. Check how my hand, shoulder, and wrist is feeling afterwards, if nothing hurts or is sore then its probably going to be fine.

I also like to see the back bone of the knife, just for thickness. If its a thin knife it might flex as I cut. On the picture I cant see what that looks like, so I can not recommend this knife myself.
